This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received an A. Few facilities fared better in this area. If it wasn't for this area, this facility's overall grade would have been much worse. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Maryland in this area with 61.1 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
